National Pharmacy Week acknowledges the invaluable contributions pharmacists and technicians make to patient care in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and other healthcare settings. Celebrated the third week in October, “Pharmacy Week” is a time to recognize the powerful impact pharmacy staff make on patients. It is an opportunity to raise patients’ and colleagues’ awareness about the vital role pharmacists play on the healthcare team. It also provides a meaningful way to affirm the pharmacy staff’s hard work to ensure medication use at Optim Medical Center-Screven is safe and patients are achieving optimal outcomes.
Pharmacists not only provide medicine to patients, but they also provide essential information. They must be thoroughly knowledgeable about the prescriptions they fill. This includes understanding how different medications interact with one another. In addition to dispensing medication, they work as researchers, educators, advocates, and counselors.
Optim Medical Center-Screven is proud to recognize the work of Chris Griner, PharmD and Millie Saxon, CPhT as they work behind-the-scenes, making sure that patients have the right medication(s) to assist them on their journey to wellness.
